Extremely unlikely: Negative HPT supports the fact that you have a fibroid.

No: The ultrasonographic characteristics are totally different between the two. Not to mention your negative testing.

Fibroid vs. fetus: While doctors do make mistakes, this one would be highly unlikely. While other things might be mistaken for a fibroid, a fetus is so characteristic it would not likely be missed.
